MECHANICAL ISOLATION VALVE

Type IVE mechanical isolation valve guards against the passage of hot particles, glowing embers and flames through interconnecting piping that may ignite a deflagration or a fire from one vessel to next. The valve remains open until receiving a signal from either a pressure responder and/or optical sensor that detects hot particles, embers and flames. The valve responds quickly by closing in milliseconds. This quick reaction prevents the passage of hot particles, embers, flames or pressure from continuing to flow through the pipeline.
